On January 4th, I proudly announced my intention to run for one of the two open seats on the Abington Board of Selectmen. For the last 3 years, Abington has granted me the privilege to serve as a Board of Health member and as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Health.
While on the Board of Health, I advocated for substance awareness and I joined forces with leadership to keep our streets clean during trash and recycling strikes. I strongly promoted environmentally friendly new protocols to keep our community green. Making it a mission to ensure Abington was transparent and informed on all public health issues. I have been a true leader for Abington.
As we journey into 2021, I am determined to be a leader Abington needs and deserves. Our leaders must be determined to champion the best interests of all Abington residents, seniors, students, first responders and tax payers. We must be steadfast and ready to charge forth a stronger and more prosperous Abington.
I am officially announcing my candidacy for the Abington Board of Selectmen.
As your Selectman, my top priorities will be:
· Meet with Our Local Businesses / Support and Encourage Growth
· Transparency and Open Communication
· Support Home Ownership and Taxpayers
· Support all our First Responders
· Aid Our Seniors
· Continue to Advocate for Programs for those struggling with Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Abington has always been my home. I am running to ensure that our town continues to prosper and we grow stronger than ever before. I humbly ask Abington voters to continue our journey together to the Board of Selectmen. I will be your voice and I would be honored to have your support in the April 24th, 2021 Abington Town election.
My door is open to everyone. If anyone has questions, comments or any inquiries, you can contact me at my email at alexhagerty4abington@gmail.com , and Facebook at Alex Hagerty for Abington Selectman.
Let’s get to work! Abington is stronger when we work together for a brighter future. I firmly believe that Abington’s best days are in front of us.
Stay Safe,
Alex Hagerty
